1st place
Tunnel Vision by tigger3

braces: Well Done! A fantastic shot that deserved to win.

Nikoneer: Now is this an individual channel for water under a bridge, or part of a set of them, rather like a Roman aqueduct? And I do think this one would be better for the contest, more of a closer interpretation of point-of-view and vanishing points.

Getting An Eiffel Looking Up by gr8fulted

Nikoneer: Oh, I love shots like this, looking straight up into a massive construct (like this one and that one). Loaded with repetitive lines, contrasts in color and light, an a perspective not normally seen. I'm assuming you mentioned Point of View because it's now in the contest? It's perfect for that. If you were visiting there I'm sure you discovered that the tower, like New York's Empire State Building, was intended to act as a dirigible mooring station... [see images in Paris and in New York].

Definitely saved and into my favorites, thanks. A little more history: Gustave Eiffel also built the Statue of Liberty, chosen to replace the original builder of choice after the man died in 1879.

Happy Trails

3rd place
"Crossing the Arno River" by icedancer

Flmngseabass: 3rd place?? Darn right. Way to go Pat!!:):) A well deserved congrats for you!!!!

LynEve: A beautiful river shot Pat

jerseygurl: Congrats Pat on taking 3rd place in the contest!!!!!!!!

Nikoneer: Looks like the river wall is as colorful as some of the buildings, covered with graffiti, even when it's painted out. The river channel appears to have been straightened out and controlled by turning it almost into a canal, over the many years that it's been "civilized", a common method of flood control. As wide as it is here the source must be a long way off.... so I looked for it. According to the atlas, the Arno runs over half the width of Italy, originating in the Tuscany mountains. I wonder what this view looks like at night with the windows lit and maybe boat lights on the water. Will be watching for more.
